magic packets and that totally did the trick.

No worries.
BTW - I'm also surprised that cards are sold as WOL compliant, when
they actually seem to Wake-On-Link or wake on any traffic at all.
If they (Linksys,Realtek) ever tested this feature, they'd realise that
it's completely useless and makes it impossible for the PC to go into
sleep
They might ask you what percentage of customers are willing to figure
this out. :)
Great to hear it's working

Update: as the long process with the customer care service continues,
I've sort of given up and bought an Intel Pro/1000 PT.
Tonight I'll try to see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, at
least, I'll have the NIC hopefully out of the equation.

Both SBs still had the MAC address of the add-on network
card saved in memory and so they were sending the magic
packet to a card that was disconnected.
FYI: You can also manually set it back to 00:00:00:00:00:00 and SB will

The two NICs you mentioned are both Realtek based (8111B and 8169S), so
despite different branding it is quite possible they have drivers with
similar deficiencies. Might want to try a *non*-Realtek NIC.

If I understand correctly waking up the PC works, but the PC won't go

Switch Magic Packet to off (start-Settings-Network Connection - Lan
